Canada's Trans Rights Bill C-389 will have its first hour of debate at third reading on December 7. A vote on third reading is expected in early 2011.

There is a Quick Facts article available to those answering Charles McVety's bathroom predator scare tactics or wanting more info on what the bill proposes to do.  Fortunately, much of Canadian media recognize that the potty fearmongering isn't a whole lot different than the arguments used to justify racial segregation in washrooms in the south decades earlier or the panic raised in the early days of HIV... so the mythic potty predator panic meme doesn't seem to be getting the same kind of airplay that it gets in the US.
